Home in New Orleans, Johnny Giavotella spent the past two nights tormenting the hometown team .

A former Jesuit and UNO standout playing for Omaha, Giavotella went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored, sparking the Storm Chasers past the Zephyrs 6-5 on Wednesday night at Zephyr Field.

In Omaha’s victory Tuesday, Giavotella went 2-for-3 with three RBIs.

Catcher Rob Brantly, who joined the Marlins’ organization in a trade Monday with Detroit, went 3-for-4 with three RBIs in his Zephyrs debut. Chase Lambin drove in two runs for New Orleans.

The Storm Chasers, who have the best record in the PCL, pounded out 13 hits. Max Ramirez and Adam Moore hit homers for Omaha.

The Zephyrs have lost their past eight games that were decided by one run.

The Storm Chasers scored a run in the first inning and three runs in the second against J.D. Martin (5-8).

Giavotella lined a double to left with one out in the first and moved to third when Will Myers singled to left. Clint Robinson drove home Giavotella with a single to center.

Ramirez led off the second inning with an opposite-field home run to right center. With one out, Moore singled and raced to third on a hit-and-run single to right by Irving Falu. Giavotella lined an RBI-single to right center, and Falu advanced to third. With two out, Robinson singled him home.

Moore homered to left leading off the fourth, making the score 5-0.

But Zephyrs struck for three runs in the bottom of the inning against Omaha starter Nathan Adcock (6-3). A one-out single by Chris Coghlan and a two-out single by Gaby Sanchez put runners on first and second. Adcock hit Nick Green with a pitch, loading the bases. Brantly then lined a single to right, scoring Coghlan and Sanchez and sending Green to third. Lambin followed with an RBI-single to right.

Omaha made the score 6-3 in the sixth on a two-out RBI by Giavotella. Falu singled with two out, stole second and scored on Giavotella’s single to center.

The Zephyrs moved to 6-4 with an unearned run in the bottom of the inning. The only hit of the inning, a single by Brantly, loaded the bases with one out, and Lambin got the RBI with a sacrifice fly to deep right.

In the New Orleans eighth, Sanchez led off against Jeremy Jeffress with a walk, advanced to third on a single by Green and scored on Brantley’s groundout.

QUICK HITS: The Zephyrs on Wednesday made three moves involving catchers: Cole Armstrong was activated from the disabled list, Humberto Quintero was released, and Brad Davis, who was traded by the Marlins to Detroit, will be playing for Toledo, the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate.

The Marlins’ trade of infielder Hanley Ramirez to the Dodgers will affect the Zephyrs’ roster. Marlins Manager Ozzie Guillen, speaking about the trade to reporters Wednesday in Miami, said that Greg Dobbs, Donovan Solano and Donnie Murphy, who as of Wednesday was still on the Zephyrs’ roster, will split time at third base for the Marlins. “We got Murphy coming back,’’ Guillen said, according to a Miami Herald transcript of his remarks.
